[Los] difusores de burbuja gruesa […] producen burbujas que se elevan rápidamente desde la base hasta la superficie del tanque de aireación. En general son mejores en vertical para bombear agua que para la transferencia de oxígeno, ya que suelen ofrecer la mitad del oxígeno transferido por difusores de burbuja fina , dado el mismo volumen de aire. 1, record 1, Spanish, - difusor%20de%20burbujas%20gruesas

Los difusores de burbujas finas repartidos de forma homogénea en el suelo de un tanque proporcionan gran flexibilidad operativa, los cuales pueden crear zonas con altas concentraciones de oxígeno (aeróbico), zonas con una concentración mínima de oxígeno (anoxia) y las zonas sin oxígeno (anaeróbico). Esto permite una focalización y eliminación más efectiva de los contaminantes específicos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - difusor%20de%20burbujas%20finas

Tube diffusers are usually installed in pairs either by a pipe clamp fixed on a round tube serving as a distribution pipe or by a double nipple inserted into a rectangular tube. When air is supplied, it is directed through the head of the support tube under the membrane. Through the slots of the membrane, the air is smoothly dispersed into the wastewater. 3, record 3, English, - tubular%20diffuser
